Should I ditch or keep infected beer ?

[Sidthesquid]

Hi guys I recently kegged a penicille infected amber ale (see attached pic of infection). It tastes bad but mostly just sour but in a strage way not awful but not really drinkable . My question is will it improve in any way by waiting or should I just ditch it ? I can fob most things off to my old man but even he is being stubborn and only drinking it in half pints Thanks in advance for any advice

Depends, honestly. I don't like sour beer, so I would dump it. If you like a sour and it tastes ok, why not wait a bit and see if you can drink it?

I've got some rotten fruit in my fridge. Should I put it on my cereal or throw it out?

Personally, I would have dumped it. I don't like sour beers, and I really don't want to have equipment that I'm going to worry about later passing along the infection.

If you want a good sour beer, they aren't difficult to make.

Make beer soap from it.

Depends what it tastes like really. There is approximately ten billion five hundred and twenty three possible infections. Some good some not. I would say if it doesn't smell like acetone vinegar paint or burnt rubber it's worth letting ride a bit.
